Avalon Cove resident Anne Marusic was disappointed that she and her boys didn’t get to meet the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks when the team was in their neighborhood.

The family waited in the snow for more than two hours outside the Westin Hotel, where the team had been staying for the past week, trying to get a glimpse of the champs.

“I got a tipoff from the police this morning that the players were leaving around 10:30, and I ‘facebooked’ and tweeted all of my friends to come out,” she said. “It was really fun to see two rival teams in our neighborhood.”

Marusic, who has lived Downtown for seven years, said it was a big thrill to be so close to the Seahawks and their vanquished opponents the Denver Broncos, who stayed a short distance away at the Hyatt.

“We’ve been trying to come out and see them when they first got here,” said Marusic, 41, who waited with her sons, Nicholas, 9, and Alan, 7. “We live right there, so we just wanted to wave and say congratulations.”

Alan said he was glad the Seahawks won.

“We were voting for the Seahawks, and we all sat and watched the game with friends last night,” he said. “It was like a really scary score for them, because it was 43-8.”

The family arrived outside the Westin around 9 a.m., and by 10:40, the team buses were being loaded with players’ suitcases.

But the Marusics couldn’t wait it out in the cold and returned home shortly before the player boarded four gray Academy buses around 11:20 a.m, and left town.
